Therapists in Eagle Rock, CA

VIDEO AND TELE-THERAPY AVAILABLE. Relational wellness is a harmony between how one relates to self, others, and the world. Let's work collaboratively to recognize your resources and grow your abilities and uniqueness. I offer openness, enthusiasm, and flexibility in my practice and I look forward to working together.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships, past trauma, parenting, couple or family conflict, contact me, I may be able to help you. I work with individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents, gay and lesbian.

My greatest reward as a therapist is supporting my clients to explore ways to make the changes in their lives that will allow them to look forward to the future with hope. I believe that all individuals hold the key to their own happiness and possess the power to change their lives for the better.

As humans, we all need support and human connection. I believe it takes strength and courage to seek support, so I applaud you for taking that first step. I provide an authentic, compassionate, and welcoming space to help you thrive and get the most out of therapy.

Personal growth, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, issues surrounding sexual orientation or gender identification, life transitions or everyday life impediments are my primary focus for treatment. I draw upon your own personal strengths, talents, and desires to identify the options you have to move past the challenges you've identified and create alternative outcomes. Whatever the need, growth is a process that is worked on collaboratively in treatment. When the challenge exists between you and a loved one, treatment highlights the development of clear, honest, and respectful communication so that all parties may gain a greater appreciation and understanding of the person next to them.

Seeing your child struggle with anxiety is such a helpless feeling. Your daughter is paralyzed with fear about what others may think of her, and nothing that you say can comfort her. Your son freezes on homework and tests, feeling that everything must be perfect, and you feel guilty, as you wonder if you've passed these anxious thoughts down to him. Sunday night comes and they're preoccupied with the thought of the impending school week, and no matter how rational you are with them, they can't shake the dread that comes with going to school.

In 2012, Dr. Ron Kaufman leased his first BrainPaint® computer in hopes of overcoming career-ending pain. Two months later he was fully ambulatory. He decided to see what it might do for others. He helped a veteran overcome 35 years of severe PTSD, (his psychiatrist halved his meds, then halved them again). His two sons learned were able to discontinue their ADHD medications. Their cousins enjoyed similar results. Because of his successes with neurofeedback, Dr. Kaufman opened clinics where others could enjoy the benefits of psychotherapy and neurofeedback treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, chronic pain and substance abuse.

Most of the time, when we feel stuck or lost or frustrated or just "not quite right," there's a blind spot we're not seeing, or an opportunity to develop some skills that would help us thrive more in our own lives. We can often eventually figure out things on our own, but it's often faster, easier, and more effective with help from a skilled professional. My coaching is practical and deep.

Our identity is shaped by our relationships. Those attachments have created patterns in our lives we may not be aware of. Therapy is a great place to explore those patterns. Whether you'd like to work through some current stumbling blocks that seem to keep you from thriving, or explore deeper patterns that you've developed from earlier childhood experiences, I am here every step of the way. No one should walk alone. Call me today for a FREE phone consultation! (PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE and I will return your call; I do not answer unknown numbers). Thank you!

I believe that a profound desire lies within each of us to thrive and live to our highest potential. I view therapy as a collaborative journey which encourages self-awareness and self-acceptance through the process of being present. In my work I seek to help my clients bring compassionate attention to the various dimensions of their emotional experience, may it be boundless joy or deep sadness. As we become more aware of our thoughts, feelings, and actions, we are better able to navigate through struggle and uncertainty.

The capacity for healing resides in everyone. Therapy is about unhooking from self-limiting adaptive patterns, while cultivating self-acceptance and reconnecting with essential wise parts of yourself. I work with men and women using a depth-oriented, body-mind approach to explore the complexity of identity and relationships. My aim is to help you understand from an embodied perspective the deeper dynamics of your struggle, strengthen the parts inside of you that can move beyond it and engage in life with a greater sense of meaning, strength, and self-compassion.

I believe that all individuals are their own best experts. Acting as a co-detective and working alongside clients to connect them with the person they want to be has proven to be both effective and inspirational. From anxiety and depression to parenting issues to PTSD, the ability to connect and provide a safe productive place to explore, reflect and dig deep has served my diverse clientele well. I am honored to be let into my clients' worlds and feel lucky to join forces and help forge a path to healing, re-awakening and transformation.

Do you ever feel good anymore? You feel like you should be happy- you’re good at your job, you’re a good person, but still… Everything feels so frustrating. The people you love irritate you. People won’t stop asking you for things. Don’t they know how hard things are? Don’t they know that you’re up late at night worrying about how the world is going to turn out? All the news seems to be bad news. You’re struggling to find hope. Even the things you used to enjoy don’t work like they used to. Will you ever feel better again? Will you ever be excited for a new day? Or is this your destiny for the rest of your life?

I believe that nobody should be resigned to a lifetime of suffering from anxiety, unresolved trauma, feeling lost, stuck, disconnected from your partner, or like your emotions are out of control. This strife can keep you from living a fulfilling life. I have seen so many clients become tremendously empowered, less emotionally reactive, and confident in their decision-making once they have a greater understanding of themselves, their histories, and their strengths. I'm passionate about helping you gain clarity, as once these changes are taking place, my clients begin enjoying more satisfying relationships with loved ones.

Welcome. I would love to help you take the steps needed to improve the quality of your life. This might be the next step toward healthier pattern, in facing something from your past, or in addressing feelings and moods that dim your engagement with life. Each part of the process - from contemplation to action - deserves care and attention.

I'm a holistic therapist who is passionate about helping you experience a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Change can be daunting. Feeling overwhelmed or stuck can prevent you from living in greater alignment with your purpose. This can impact your relationships, career, and general sense of well-being. My goal is to create a safe space and help empower you to connect with your own authenticity and meaning so that you can break free from the patterns that are limiting you.

Do you want someone to hear your story? Have you been in pain for a while and now feel like it's time to get some help? Are you and your partner going through a hard time that you can't seem to get out of alone? Is your child struggling, and you just don't know how to reach him/her? I want to understand what you've been through and what you're going through. I want to help you make meaning of that story. Together, we'll find ways to help you live the life you want.

Finding the right therapist is an important step toward healing, self-acceptance, and personal growth. I help clients achieve balance; improve relationships; and live with greater integrity, creativity, and spirit. My clinical approach is devoted to providing holistic treatment that incorporates emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal solutions, tailored to the specific needs of my clients. I will help you identify and work through challenges so that you may find deeper meaning and purpose in your life.

I believe in working collaboratively with clients and building a therapeutic relationship based on trust, honesty, and openness. I see my role as a curious, caring human being first and a clinician second. I encourage feedback and work diligently to tailor treatment to meet a client's needs, ranging from achieving short term specific goals, symptom reduction, and crisis management to long term growth work focusing on personal development, relationship patterns, and wellness maintenance.
